DPWH completes 3 road projects
THE DEPARTMENT of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) reported Thursday the completion of three road improvement projects worth over P80 million.
Two of these construction works are farm-to-market road projects in Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur that “a more convenient and cost-effective way to transport products or services,” the DPWH said. One of them also connects two villages of the town.
The third completed project is a 2.07-kilometer road section in Barangay Sto. Tomas, Maria Aurora in Aurora Province.
“This… is part of the DPWH effort for efficient road connectivity through construction and maintenance,” DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan said in a statement.
“Prior to the completion of the project, unpaved roads become muddy and slippery during rainy days and dust covers the area during the summer season, affecting health conditions of locals and livestock,” said DPWH Regional Director Ronnel M. Tan. — Ashley Erika O. Jose
